PROVIDENCE ROWS NIGHT REFUGE,
FO
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 undor 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, refusedadmittance, andhavo
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 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. D. OLLBERT, D.D. No, 22

PLUNDERING SHOPS.—W. Marlowe and John Riley, two
rough-looking youths, were charged with robbing shops.
Mr. Collins, shirtmaker, Sloane-square, said that on
Tuesday evening he saw the prisoner Marlowe examining
some shirts hanging at his door, in company with another
man. Immediately afterwards prosecutor found the shirts
bad been stolen, and he then went out into the streets
in search of the prisoner. In about half an hour after he
saw the prisoners coming up George-street, Chelsea, pith
a bundle. Prosecutor, entertaining the belief that it con-
tained his shirt, followed, when they set off running, and
Marlowe threw the bundle over a wall, and he and his
companion escaped. The bundle contained a blanket, but
no shirts.

Police-constable 200 13 proved taking the prisoners las
night.

Prisoner Marlowe —This young gentleman by the side
of me knows nothing about it. Ho was not there.
Mr. Collins—l cannot be positive of Riley's identity. I
believe him to be the man.

Marlowe was remanded; Riley entered into recoguisances
,o appear on Wednesday.

MARKETS. —This day.

METROPOLITAN CATTLE.

Our market to-day was well supplied with boasts for
Christmas consumption. On the whole, the demand for
most breeds ruled steady, at full prices. Tho top quota-
tion was 5s Gd per 81bs. Sheep, the supply of which was
only mcderate, moved off steadily, at full quotations. The
best Downs and half-breds realised 6s 4d per 81bs. There
was a fair demand for calves, at previous rates. Prime
small pigs were steady; but large hogs commanded very
little attention. The numbers on offer were by no means
extensive. _ _

Mr 3. Saunders, recalled at the request of Mr. J.
B. Tolputt, one of the jury, said that the shawl of
deceased was a thick woollen one, and worn doubled
round the neck.

Mr. Biron having addressed the jury for the pr

soner,

His Lordship summed up, directing the jury, that
if the violence of the prisoner accelerated the death
of deceased be would be guilty, although there
might be the most extensive predisposition to
apoplexy.

The Jury found the prisoner Guilty, but recom-
mended him to mercy.
The Judge said but for that recommendation his
punishment world have been more severe, and sen-
tenced him to three months' hard labour.
The Grand Jury ignored the indictment against
John Hasley for a highway robbery at Sevenoaks ;
and the foreman, Lord Mahon, having informed
the Court this had arisen on account of the-absence
of the prosecutor, John May, his Lordship ordered
May's recognisances to be estreated.

THE TAS MANIA N.

SOUTHAMPTON, Wedneslay.
Instructions were received from the Privy Coun-
cil this morning, that the passengers by the West
India mail steamer Tasmanian were to be released
from quarantine to-day, provided the report re-
specting their health was satisfactory to the medical
superintendent of quarantine. Dr. Wiblin proceeded
to the Alotherbank this afternoon to make the ne-
cessary inquiries, and act accordingly.

The Barnsley Colliery Explosion.

BARNSLEY, Wednesday Afternoon.
There is no news of much importance to commu-
nicate to-day. The filling of the upcast or drawing
shaft is going on with as much activity as can be
brought to bear upon the work, which is attended
with both difficulty and danger. Explosions con-
tinue to take place from time to time, three or four
have occurred since last night ; one to-day about
10 o'clock, and another shortly after 12 were of a
heavy character, and for some time after their rever -
berations had ceased black smoke ascended from the
pit. The pumping engine is kept at work, and it
is not too much to say that everything is being done
that can be to quench the fire which still rages in
the mine.

The Archbishop of York yesterday visited the
village of Hoyle Mill and delivered an affectionate
and sympathetic address to a great number of the
widows, children, and other relatives of the dead.
Some festive meetings, including the inauguration
of a co-operative company at Barnsley, have been
postponed in consequence of this lamentable catas-
trophe. Among the additional subscribers to the
relief fund at Barnsley are Mr. Winn, of Nostell
Priory, £lOO ; and Mr. R. Micklethwaite, of
Ardsley, £l5O.
The coroner's inquest will be resumed to-morrow
(Thursday); it is not expected, however, that much

Witness—Yes.

Mr. Argles, surgeon, of the Kent County Hos-
pital, confirmed in its main features the evidence of
Mr. Roar.

Bias. Saunders, recalled at the request of Mr. J.
B. Tolputt, one of the jury, said that the shawl of
deceased was a thick woollen one, and worn doubled
round the neck.

Mr. Biron having addressed the jury for the pr,
soner,

His Lordship summed up, directing the jury, that
if the violence of the prisoner accelerated the death
of deceased he would be guilty, although there
might be the most extensive predisposition to
apoplexy.

The Jury found the prisoner Guilty, but recom
mended him to mercy.

The Judge said but for that recommendation his
punishment would have been more severe, and sen-
tenced him to three months' hard labour.

The Grand Jury ignored the indictment against
John Tiasley for a highway robbery at Sevenoaks ;
and the foreman, Lord Mahon, having informed
the Court this had arisen on account of the absence
of the prosecutor, John May, his Lordship ordered
May's recognisances to be estreated.

COURT OF COMMON COUNCIL

A special court of Common Council was held
yesterday at their Council Chambers for the de-
spatch of business—the Lord Mayor presiding.
The minutes of the last court having been con-
firmed a long discussion ensued, at the instance of
Mr. Deputy De Jersey, as to the powers of com-
mittees about to expire to issue warrants for the
payments of money for purchases made by the
committees whose period of office would expire on
St. Thomas's Day. The opinions of the town clerk,
the comptroller, and the city solicitor were called
for ; and being antagonistic to the proposition of
Mr. Deputy De Jersey, the proposition dropped.

through the dense damp fogs which have been so preva-
lent of late. These Pills purify the blood which has been
contaminated by foul gases, and give tone to the nervous
system, whereby typhus, typhoid, gastric, and bilious
fevers are warded off. Holloway's Pills are also the best
known promoters of digestion, the surest regulators of the
liver, and the most valued and effective of all aperients.
Whon health is impaired, with loss of appetite, vigour, and
sleep, this medicine will be found a certain r9storative, and
will rarely fail to effect a complete cure.

LONDON, THURSDAY , DEC. 20, 1866.

It may fairly be said that the House of Commons
is on its trial, so far as the opinion of some politi-
cians is concerned, and therefore all that the differ-
ent members of Parliament say on the subject at
meetings and other places naturally engages atten-
tion and creates interest. So great an authority as
Mr. LOWE is sure to meet respect, and many will
peruse his speech with curiosity whether they agree
or not with all its sentiments. At a banquet, given
on Tuesday by the Merchant Taylors' Company,
the right hon. gentleman returned thanks for the
" Two Houses of Parliament" with which his
name was coupled, and prefaced his re-
marks by saying that there had been a time when
no one could have an easier or more pleasant task
imposed upon him than that of returning thanks
for the House of Commons; it was, in fact, " a sort
of rhetorical bed of roses." All went smoothly for
the orator, the sentiments of those around him coin-
cided with those of the nation around him ; but now
all things are changed. Mr. LOWE declared, in
terms
of great eloquence, that what the former
Position of the 11011.3 C of Commons had been, " the
admiration of foreign countries and the pride of our
own," that institution which, for six hundred years,
we have cherished, and which during that period has
been much improved and amplified, is now " becom-
ing s scoffing and a byeword among certain classes
in this country. It has become among these per:
sons the target at which every shaft is aimed, the
fhg which they like to drag and trample upon."
This is no exaggeration, but every word of it is
strictly true. Nothing is more absurd and mabe-
cominz than the manner in which the noble in-
stitution of the House of Commons i 3 derided
by Mr. BRIGHT and his friends and followers.
They go on from bad to worse, until they
succeed in sketching a picture frightful to contem-
plate. If one half, or a quarter of what they say
were true, it would be no use to think of altering
or improving the arrangement of it, for it would be
hopelessly irreclaimable and universally injurious.

It is a relief to find so bold a champion stand
forward as the exponent of the merits and the yin-

MANSION-HOUSE RELIEF FUND.

Yesterday £1,300 was received by the Lord
Mayor, in aid of the fund for the relief of the widows
and orphans and aged parents of the miners who
perished in the colliery explosions near Barnsley
and in North Staffordshire. The total amount re-
ceived at the Mansion-house up to last evening was
about £4,500 in round figures, and subscriptions
were coming in rapidly. The Corporation of Lon-
don at the meeting of the Court of Common Coun-
cil yesterday made a vote of £3OO to the fund, and
it was stated by Mr. R. N. Phillips that a sum of
over £2,000 was set apart by the Committee of the
Hartley Relief Fund for any colliery accidents that
might happen in the Yorkshire district, so that sum
or part of it may be applied for the relief of the suf-
ferers by the Barnsley accident. Among the sub-
scriptions received at the Mansion- house yesterday
were the Goldsmiths' Company, through Mr. Alder-
man Copeland, £100: Messrs. Baring, Brothers,
£100; the Illustrated London News, £52 10s. ;

COURT OF ALDERMEN.

Yesterday a ' court of aldermen was held in the
Council Chamber, Guildhall (the aldermen's court
being occupied by one of the courts of law), for the
despatch of business.
The report of the sheriffs as to the state of the
City prisons showed that in Newgate there were 119
prisoners, of whom two only were in the infirmaries;
in the Debtors' Prison, Whitecross-street, there were
124 prisoners, of whom four were in the infirmaries ;
and at the Holloway House of Correction there were
338 prisoners, and only 10 inmates of the infir-
maries.

After some routine business and the swearing of
brokers had been disposed of,
Mr. Alderman SIDNEY requested to know why
there did not appear on the paper of business for to-
day the questign as to the swearing in of additional
constables by the magistrates, which had been in-
terrupted at the last court in consequence of the
insufficiency of members.
The TOWN CLERK—I beg to say that the Lord
Mayor is the party to whom the omission was to be
attributed.

The LORD MAYOR—I beg to reply, Mr. Town
Clerk, that I did not give any directions on the sub-
ject.
The Tows CLERK said he wished to explain that
he had been requested to ask his lordship to appoint
this as a special session simply for the admission of
brokers and other routine business, and his lordship
had consented to that arrangement on the ground
that business likely to create a discussion should not
be brought in during the sittings of the Central
Criminal Court, when the Recorder and the CJIII-
mon Sergeant would necessarily be engaged in their.
judicial capacity.

The Loin MAVon remarked that the town clerk
must have been mistaken in what he had stated.
His recollection was that he had given no such di-
rections as to the paper of business for that day,
and certainly the town clerk .must have misunder-
stood him.

The TowN CLERK reminded the Lord Mayor that
he had spoken to him on the subject in the pre-
smce of Mr. Alderman Wilson at the last court,
and it was then arranged that the order of the court
should not be interfered with.

A somewhat personal and acrimonious conversa-
tion ensued amongst the members of the court, in
the course of which the Town Clerk repeated his
declaration, when
The LORD 111YOR, with some warmth, declared
hat he had already made his statement of his re-
membrance of the facts, and, having done so, he
would not submit to be contradicted by any officer
of the court. (Sensation.)
After considerable discussion, the adjourned
question as to the power to swear additional con-
stables by the aldermen was resumed on the ad-
journed. report, when eventually the report was
agreed to on a division of 11 to 4, with the amend-
ment moved by Mr. Alderman Wilson that from
the report should be excepted the officers employed
at the justice-rooms at Guildhall and the Mansion
House, and that the power should be reserved to
the magistrates to swear their own officers, with an
appeal to the commissioner of police. The court
then adjourned.

CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT Dec. 19.

OLD COURT.
(Before Mr. Justice Mellor?)

ATTEMPTED MURDER NEAR HAMMERSMITII.
Harriett Morris was indicted on a chargo of poisoning
her child, Emily Morris, aged six years, by giving her
oxalic acid.

The child stated that her mother took her to it
dark place in the park, and then opened a bottle and
poured something into a glass, which she tried to induce
her to drink. She told her it was peppermint, and would
warm her, and she made her dip a piece of bun into the
liquid, and eat it. She did not like to take the stuff, and
her mother at last forced it down her throat. It was sour,
and burnt her mouth. Her mother then went away, and
left her alone in the park. She was there a long time.
The police-constable. said the place where the child
was found was in a field leading to the Duke of Devon-
shire's.

The chemist who had examined the child's clothes said
he had no doubt the marks were caused by oxalic acid, and
could not have arisen from alum.

The jury returned a verdict of guilty.

The Learned Judge sentenced the prisoner to 15 years'
penal servitude, after which she was led fainting from the
dock.

notice, " That the court do contribute the sum of
£2OO in aid of the fund now being raised for the re-
life of the widows and families of those who perished
in the recent fearful colliery accidents."
Mr. Alderman COPELAND suggested, pursuant to
a notice which he kid given, to increase the vote to
£3OO.

Mr. PHILIPPS said he should accept the addition
suggested by the worthy alderman.
Mr. ISAACS expressed a wish to increase the vote
to £5OO, but after a desultory conversation it was
resolved that the vote should be fOr £3OO, and that
the chamberlain be requested to pay in the amount
to the committee now sitting at the Mansion-house.
