Sixty Thousand Nights' Lodgings, with Suppers and
Breakfasts, havo 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, are given gratuitously every week. The poor
from all parts are admitted, the only condition being that
they aro homeless and starving. The Manager &c.,
reccivos no remuneration whatever. Notwithstand-
ing the provision made by the Poor Houses, each
night numbers of young women, chilaren, and orphans
are, for want accommodation, rofusedadmittance, and have
to spend night after night in the cold, wet, and sleet. To
meet this evil, and to provide more ample. accommoda-
tion, .C 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, tbo prayers of the destitute will
be offered in your behalf.

many months been working to carry it out, and
I whole terraces, streets, and squares in south-west
London have been tunnelled under almost without
the knowledge of the inhabitants. The new line, as
well as the extensions, will be on the underground
system, but open cuttings will be made wherever it
may be convenient to adopt them. Yesterday the
s'
of Kb
coltkh atnhdeleloramr --
icnogntßrarcottohresrs,Messrs.invite
o
e
trict—and some other gentlemen, to accompany
d Pt
eht directaild 13
oertst
panies—the Metropolitan and the Metropolitan Dis-
them over the works. The inspection commenced
opposite Westminster Abbey, where the brickwork
in the sidewalls arid arches have been completed for
a length of 200 ft., and iron girders for nearly half
that length are in place. The excavations for the
remainder of the line between Tothill-street and
Westminster-bridge are being pushed rapidly on in
order that it may be completed before the com-
mencement of the next session of Parliament. The
" slums" of Westminster will be very much im-
proved by the construction of the line. In Broad-
way a number of dilapidated houses have been
pulled down, and many more are " ticketed.',
Here the excavations have been made to the re-
quired depth for a short distance, but much water
enters as the navigators proceed with their work,
and it has been found necessary to have a powerful
pump constantly in operation. The first good view
the party got of any portion of the future tunnel
line was when they entered it from Buckingham=
row, at the rear of Victoria-street, whence they were
enabled to walk through the excavations till they
arrived at the Victoria-station, a distance of 1,500
feet. The inspection of this portion of the work
enabled one to judge of the difficulties which both
engineers and contractors have had to overcome. So
great has been the flow of water during the excava-
tions that engineers have been at work night and
day, pumping it out at the rate of 4,000 gallons a
minute. Here, too, the line passes under one of the
largest sewers in London. This the company had
to reconstruct of cast iron, and a huge cylinder 11ft.
in height by 14ft. in width, and supported on mas-
sive girders, forms part of the arch of the tunnel,
while it also carries off the sewage of the streets
above. Stranger still, not far from this monster
iron tube, the roofing of the tunnel will form the
foundations for a large brewery. Elliot, Watney,
and Co. owned some of the land required by the
company at the rear of Victoria-street, and not liking
to be driven from their old premises, offered some
opposition to excavating and boring in this direction.
A settlement was, however, come to, and, in pur-
suance of agreement, the contracters have spanned
a portion of the tunnel with enormous girders, on
which a brewery is to be erected. Some of the houses
on the north side of Victoria-street are very large
and of great height, and the owners were much afraid
of the effects of the tunnelling; but though the line
has been excavated close up to the rear of those pre-
mises not a crack has appeared in any part of them.
At the end of Victoria-street the new company will
have an exchange station with that of the London,
Chatham, and Dover Company. Indeed one of the
most important features of the undertaking is, that
it will either be directly connected or have an ex-
change station with nearly every one of the lines
which now come into London. It is intended by the
District Company to build a very large station at
the end of Victoria-street, for which purpose the
whole of the houses in Shaftesbury-terrace and some
of those on Wilton-road have been pulled down.
Passing on by Lower Belgrave-place, Pimlico, where
a length of 150 feet of arch-covered way is com-
pleted, the line goes by Coleshill-street to Sloane-
squafe, where there will be another station, which
is already in a forward state. Passing on to Crom-
well-road, the line continues its course to Glouces-
ter-road, Brompton, one of the chief points in the
united scheme. Here is the south end of a double
branch to the West London Railway, the north end

llikg—httnli'en44saktAi'eaill644ll444ll64-1
West London at either of two points according as
they want to proceed in a northerly or a southerly
direction. For some distance either way from the
'Gloucester-road station there are two separate tun-
nels, in each of which there will be two lines of
rails. On both the junctions with the West Lon-
don line a temporary railway has been laid down,
to Gloucester-road on the south and Kensington
on the north ; and the contractors and their party
were drawn over it yesterday by a ballast engine.
At Earl's Court the contractors have erected two
immense brick-kilns, where 50,000,000 bricks are
being made by machinery from the clay taken out
of the excavations. It is estimated that about
140,000,000 of bricks will be required for the
works. At Kensington a very capacious station is
in course of erection, as a great traffic is expected
to pass to and from the line at this point. From it
the work of completing the communications en-
tirely devolves on the Metropolitan Company, who
will have stations at Notting-hill, Bayswater, and
directly opposite the Paddington Hotel. There
will be communication between this last station
and the Great Western line by means of a subter-
ranean passage, but an extension will be continued
on to the Edgeware-road, where it will join on to
the existing underground line. At Paddington the
inspection ended. Several hours had been occupied
in going over the ground, and, though here and
there one had to mind his footing or take care of his
head, the exploration was on the whole exceed-
ingly interesting. A passenger passing in a railway
carriage through a finished tunnel sees nothing out-
side ; but yesterday all the party were accommo-
dated in open waggons or made the passage on foot,
sometimes by the light of innumerable candles,
sometimes by the more brilliant aid of gas jets.
Water pipes, gas mains, sewers, and monster beams
of timber presented themselves in all directions
overhead, while workmen, numerous as bees in a
hive, were excavating, setting bricks, and fixing
arches with as much dexterity as if they had served
their apprenticeship ,in underground railways.
Judging from the results already shown by the
working of the Metropolitan line, even in its imper-
fect state as only a partial system, a traffic such as
never has been known on any line is expected to be
secured by this circular scheme. The Metropolitan
line at present carries annually a number of pas-
sengers equal to seven times the population of Lon-
don ; and so short an extension as that from Far-
ringdon-street to Moorgate-street increased the
traffic 50 per cent. But owing to the want of a
complete communication between the various parts -
of London, the Metropolitan traffic never has been
developed by any system of locomotion. In Paris,
with a population of about 2,000,000, no fewer than
100,000,000 passengers are carried by the omni-
buses ; while in London, with its 3,000,000 of in-
habitants, the number does not exceed 80,000,000.
To what is this to be attributed? Doubtless, to the
correspondence system which is in operation in the
French capital, and which is analogous to the
through communication this new railway is in-
tended to effect. It is expected by the traffic ma-
nager that at least 200,000,000 passengers will be
conveyed over the new line annually even in the first
year of its working, and this with perfect safety to
the public. When the Metropolitan line was opened,
some railway authorities gave it as their opinion
that, with a due regard for the lives of the pas-
sengers, trains could not be run oftener than each
quarter of au hour. They are now run at intervals
of five minutes over the whole line, and at intervals
of two minutes between King's-cross and Farling-
don-street. It is one -of the advantages of a
short line that a more perfect arrangement
of signalling can be enforced than would be possible
