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 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 etc.,
receives no remuneration whatever. Notwithstand-
ing the provision made by the Poor Houses, each
night numbers of young women, chiluren, and orphans
Rre, 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 £3,000 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, the prayers of the destitute will
be offered in your behalf.

A SENSIBLE GmL.—A gentleman, feeling a
strong partiality for a young lady whose name was
Noyes, was desirous, without. the ceremony of a formal
courtship, to ascertain her sentiments. For this purpose he
said to her one day, with that kind of air and manner
—" If I were to ask you whether you aro under matrimonial
engagements
em eitherents
to mesasan jest eosnt or
ewearnest,part
as you choose %o take it
of
your name (No-yes)
might I take for an answer ? " " The first," said she, in
the same tone. "And if I were to ask you if you were in-
clined to form such an engagement, should a person offer
who loved you, and was not indifferent to yourself, what
part of your name might he then take as an answer ?"
"The last." "And I toll you that I love you, and ask
you to form such an engagement with me, then what
part of your name may I take p, "Oh, then," replied
the blushing girl, " take the whole name, as in such case
I would cheerfully resign it for yours." it is almost need-
less to add that they were soon after married.

Some workmen engaged the day before yesterday
in emptying a cesspool in the Rue des Acacias at Baltig-
nolles found the body of a new-born child cut into pieces,
and which appeared to have been only recently placed

inquiry has been comrameed.

Memorandum of the Greek Governmen
the Protecting Powers.

'L
to

ATHENS, Sept. 10.

The following memorandum with respect to the
Candian question has recently been addressed by
the Greek Government to the Protecting Powers :

"During the last four months the island of Candia has
been passing through a crisis, the prolongation of which
testifies to the gravity of the causes by which it has been
occasioned, and the inefficaciousness of the means employed
to appease it.
" As a not impassive, but reserved and silent, spectator
of this crisis, the Government of his Majesty the King of
the Hellenes cannot be blind to the perils of a situation
threatening to aggravate the sufferings of a Christian po-
pulation of upwards of 200,000 souls.
"By her geographical position, her community of religion
and race, by identity of language and common traditions,
Greece is the first to feel every uneasiness of the Greek po-
pulations in the Ottoman empire; she is also the first to
suffer thereby in her more legitimate affections. She would
therefore betray the duties such ties imp)se, she would fail
in her mission as the first Christian Power in the East, if
she did not uplift her voice in favour of her Candian breth-
ren, overwhelmed by the evils of bad administration, en-
vironed by numbers of troops, having everything to fear
from Turkish fanaticism and the measures ordered against
them. In times of trial and danger the island of Candia has
been one of the foremost maritime bulwarks of Greece, and
the plains of Attica have been- deluged with Cretan blood.
"But, by virtue of a resolution at the London Confer-
ence, and in spite of the contrary advice of the ambassa-
dors of the three great Powers at Constantinople, this
island, after having been exposed for rine years to all the
calamities of war—from 1821 to 1829-was replaced under
Ottoman rule, with the sole exceptions of the fortifiedtowns
of Candia, Canea, and Rethino. The Cretans in arms had
even taken from the Turks in 1824, under the orders o
Kalergis, the fortresses of Graboussa and Kissamos, and
held them in their possession when they were condemned
to re-enter under foreign domination.

" A. prince destined at that time to direct the destinies of
Greece, and whose great talents and high sagacity subse-
quently founded the happiness of another State, raised his
voice in vain against a decision that equally infringed jus-
tice and humanity, and which was to be a source of con-
stantly fresh complications.

" But if the protocol of Feb. 3, 1830, was not modified
it was, through the remonstrances of King Leopold, sub-
jected in application, by the protocol of Feb. 20, to certain
restrictions for the benefit of the Christian populations of
Candia and Samos.

" It is only necessary to turn to the notification addressed
on the Bth April, 1835, by the representatives of the three
Courts of France, England, and Russia to the Sublime
Porte, to seo upon what conditions the above-mentioned
islands wore obliged to renounce their national existence at
a period when that prospect of progress and prosperity had
not yet been opened to all the Christian populations of the
East.

"It is stated in this notification that the three Govern-
ments, by virtue of engagements contracted by common
agreement, have assured to the inhabitants of Candia and
Samos, in addition to security against any reaction what-
ever on account of the part they have taken in preceding
events, precise regulations, which, recalling ancient privi-
leges and granting those which experience had proved ne-
cessary to them, would offer to those populations efficacious
protection against arbitrary and oppressive acts.'

" Let the three Courts judge whether these engagements,
conferring upon them the right of surveillance and collec-
tive intervention, have been fulfilled. Massacres, all the
more odious because made upon pretext of securing public
order, and which in the Cretan annals of 1833 were called
the hangings of Mourines, have given the measure of the
feelings of Egyptian authority towards the Christians of
Candia. It would exceed the limits of a simple memoran-
dum to follow the Cretan step for step through 36 years of
a life of torture.
"In 1840 war was declared between the Sultan and his
powerful vassal, Mehemet Ali. The Ottoman empire was
exposed to the dangers of civil war. The hope of deliver-
ance commenced to smile upon the Cretans, but Europe
intervened, and the dangers which threatened Turkey were
averted.

"In Candia the authorify of the Sultan was substituted
for the administration of the Viceroy of Egypt, and in
consequence of a new international pact the Cretans found
they had changed masters without changing their condition.
Arms in hand, they then protested against this manner of
disposing of their fate, but they were forced to yield to the
united efforts of force and the moral pressure of the three
great Powers.
" The events of 1840 aro thus a second moral engagement
cont►:acted by the three Courts towards the Candians. Tho
Paris treaty of 1836 contains a third. In preience of Europe
assembled in congress, the representative of the Sublime
Porte submitted an act, emanating from the sovereign will
of the Sultan, regulating the fate of Christians in Turkey,
and which was, so to speak, the price of the enormous sacri-
fices Christendom had suffered in the Crimea for the in-
tegrity of the Turkish empire.
"Although having the appearance of being spontaneous,
this act was none the less clothed by Art. 9 of the Treaty
of Paris with the sanction of an international arrangement,
and has since been considered as the political charter of
the Christians in Turkey.
"To examine ono by one the stipulations of the Hatti-
cherif of Feb. 3, 1856, and to point out the application made
of them would be to enter into details the present crisis in
Candia renders superfluous. An island which, by its posi-
tion in the Mediterranean and the nature of its soil, may
lay claim to all the wealth of agriculture and commerce, an
intelligent, laborious, and peaceful population capable of
making its place in the history of the civilisation of the
East, find themselves arrested in all moral and material
progress. _ _

"An administration of justice offering none of the
guarantees rendering that institution in Europe the first
basis of every social edifice, crushing taxes iniquitously ap-
portioned, and levied in a manner that makes extortion
inevitable, daily abuses of authority, the absence of every
means of intellectual culture—such is the gloomy picture
of a situation we are unable to perceive with indifference.
The manifestations of the Cretans and their incessant
struggles are but the two natural consequences of the efforts
of a people desirous of breaking the shackles that arrest
their march towards Christian civilisation. It had been
supposed that these fetters would fall off of themselves
before the beneficent action of a species of patient and en-
lightened diplomatic surveillance, but long and painful
experience has already demonstrated its insufficiency.
"In 1858 the Cretans endeavoured to obtain new gua-
rantees of good administration, and to put an end to the
establishment of new taxes, but these guarantees were as
illusory as the Ilatti-cherif.
"Exasperated afresh, at the beginning of April last the
Cretans sent their representatives to the environs of Canea,
to protest energetically against the evils they endure, and
to claim their redress by European intervention. These
representatives, coming from all points of the large island,
met at Koutzounaria, about one hour's distance from the
city, vi here the Governor• General and the foreign consuls
reside. Some thousands of unarmed people followed, in
order to give the mission the importance it possessed.
" Therepresentatives of the towns of Canea and Rethino,
the bishops of Sidonia and Kissamas, met the representa-
tives from the country districts, and after a deliberation, in
which the most legitimate impulses of patriotism were sac-
rificed to prudence, a petition containing-the complaints of
the Cretan people was signed and addressed to the Sultan.
Another address was confidentially transmitted to the Sove-
reigns of Franco, Great Britain, and Russia. It expressed
more concisely the real desires of the Cretan people, FS ith,
however, the precautions such a step rendered necessary.
" Prudence, perhaps, also enjoined Turkey to employ
means equally pacific to appease discontent and distrust of
the Cretans. But the Government of the Sultan resorted
instead to a measure of irritation and of violence, with the
effect of rendering a catastrophe imminent.

" The sole reply, indeed, that was then made to the una-
nimous complaints of a suffering population, and which
has not departed beyond the bounds of wisdom and mode-
ration in displaying its sufferings, was the concentration
of considerable Egyptian and Turkish forces (upwards of
22,000 men), which, continually penetrating further into
the interior of the island, seemed to intend occupying
the strategic points. After this display of force Turkey
replied to the numerous complaints contained in the peti-
tion of the Cretans by refusing to entertain them, and by
threats against those who should dare, even by pacific
means, to insist upon the need for amelioration in their
fate. ' You will at the same time declare,' says the Vizie-
rial letter, dated July 22 last, addressed to the Governor-
General of Candia, that if they persist in this criminal
conduct they will be dispersed by furce, and be subjected
to very severe penalties. If, after this declaration, they
still persist, you will cause them to be attacked by your
troops, you will have their chiefs arrested and con-
fined in the fortresses, and you will disperse the rest.'
" We shudder in reflecting that the execution of thesa
orders is confided to troops whose fanaticism and ferocity
know no bounds. We ask if the great Powers will allow
to be done in 1866 what they prevented in 1827 and 1828
by the battle of Navarino and the expedition of Morea ?
"The fears inspired by the violence of Turkish fanati-
cism may be added to the official menaces, supported by
the energetic movements of the army, and to the suspicion
aroused by the gradual concentration—at times open, at
times clandestine—of the Turks in fortified towns. It is
thus with profound regret and painful surprise that his
Majesty's Government has recently learnt that a dervich
had landed at Canes in the suite of the Turkish troops, and
had commenced publicly to advocate the massacre of the
Christians. This preacher of murder then re-embarked on

board the same war-ship by which ho had been conveyed,
and continued his route, in company of military detach-
ments, to spread his incendiary excitement upon other
points of the island.
" The Christians of Candia do not require to call to mind
the massacres of Djoddah and of Syria to imagine the con-
sequences of such incitements. Their contemporary his-
tory is unfortunately full of excesses of this character.
Thus, by combining precedents so little encouraging with
this quite recent excitement of fanaticism of which, by a
fatal coincidence, the latest letters from Syria teach us to
apprehend the sanguinary aberrations, may we not be justi-
fied in entertaining lively apprehensions of the possibility
of seeing scenes revolting to humanity revived in Crete ?
And, if this explosion of fanaticism was not to bo foreseen
as the inevitable consequence of so delicate a situation,
what may we not, have to fear at the first intelligence of
the opposition the execution of the violent measures pre-
scribed by the Sublime Porte will probably encounter from
the Cretans in the mountains ? The more his Majesty's
Government reflects upon the matter, the more strongly it
is led to apprehend sanguinary events, from which too great
haste cannot be made to preserve the Cretans.

"In the view of the imminence of such great dangers his
Majesty's Government is moved, It knows but too well
that this state of suffering, and the frequent crisis it en-
genders, can only cease with the causes by which they are
produced. But, easy as it has been by recording notorious
facts to trace a faithful picture of this perilous situation,
the mere difficult would be the task of offering an opinion
upon the measure which can alone guarantee to the Cretans
an existence more conformable to their history and to the
requirements of civilisation and justice."

The Atlantic Cable.

Yesterday afternoon Mr. C. E. Rawlins, jun.,
vice-president, Mr. P. H. Rathbone, and other
members of the Liverpool Chamber of Commerce,
proceeded on board the Great Eastern for the pur-
pose of presenting an address to Capt. Anderson,
which was adopted at the meeting of the council of
the Chamber on the previous day. The address,
which is subscribed to the gentlemen who have taken
a principal share in the operations for laying the
cable of 1866 and the fishing up and completion of
the cable of 1865, was as follows :

" The President and the Council of the Chamber of Com-
merce beg to convey to you, on behalf of the entire mercan-
tile community of Liverpool, their heartfelt congratulations
upon the success of the great undertaking in which you
have been engaged in uniting England and America by the
Atlantic Telegraph Cables. They desire to convey their pro-
found admiration of the nautical skill, scientific ingenuity,
and undaunted perseverance, which, in spite of difficulty,
discouragement, and failure, have triumphed over every
obstacle, and brought to a successful conclusion one of the
grandest enterprises of modern times. Liverpool is espe-
cially concerned in your success. Pre-eminently among the
cities of the empire, her wealth and importance are closely
connected with the maintenance and expansion of the trade
with America. She esteems it therefore a happy circumstance
that the community which is the most vitally interested in
your labours should be the first to welcome you on your re-
turn to England, and to express their feelings of admiration,
which your services have so richly earned. It is her fervent
hope that the increased facilities of intercourse which your
exertions have secured may not only multiply the commer-
cial relations between England and America, and so aug-
ment the wealth of both, but, by bringing the nations into
close contact, and removing the causes of prejudice and mis-
understanding, may bind them together by the enduring ties
of mutual respect and reciprocal goodwill.

(Signed on behalf of the Liverpool Chamber of Commerce)
"C. E. RAWLINS, Jun., President.

"Liverpool, Sept. 20."
'the deputation was accompanied by Mr. S. R.
Graves, M.P., Mr. Wright, Vice-President of the
Birmingham Chamber of Commerce, and Mr. Blood,
secretary of the Liverpool Chamber of Commerce.
The party were received on board the big ship by
Capt. Anderson, besides whom there were on board
Sir Charles Bright, who laid the first Atlantic cable
(1858) ; Mr. Edward Bright, secretary of the Mag-
netic Telegraph Company ; Mr. Henry Clifford, who
chiefly invented and had charge of the machinery for
submerging the cable of 1866 ; and other gentlemen.
The address was presented by Mr. Rawlins,
jun., vice-president of the Liverpool Chamber of
Commerce, in the absence from illness of the Presi-
dent, Mr. Meade King. In the course of his address
Mr. Rawlins, in the name of the mercantile com-
munity of Liverpool, invited Capt. Anderson and
the principal persons who had b.Tn associated with
him t 6 a banquet to be given to them in Liverpool,
the Ist of October.

Captain ANDERSON acknowledged the reception
of the address in a few manly words, expressing his
regret at the absence of those to whom he said the
credit of the great success was more especially due,
but who he had no doubt would feel highly gratified
by the honour which Liverpool was conferring upon
them. He said they should not forget what they
owed to a higher Power in having been favoured
with suitable weather, without which success could
not have been achieved. As it was, their patience
was occasionally greatly tried in raising the old
cable
and all their hopes, as well as nearly all their
ropes,
were at one time shattered.
Mr. CLIFFORD having addressed a few words to
the company,
Sir C. BRIGHT delivered an excellent speech, in
which he dwelt in a sanguine strain on the future of
submarine telegraph cables.
Tile party returned to the shore about half-past
4 o'clock.

The Collision off' the Suffolk Coast.

COMMITTAL OF THE MATE FOR MAN-
SLAUGHTER.

The coroner's inquisition relative to the death of
the little girl, Ada Bell, whose body was washed
ashore several weeks ago at Sizewell, was resumed
on Wednesday morning at the Works Hall, Leiston.
The Coroner (B. L. Gross, Esq.) observed to the
jury that the inquiry had been adjourned until the
termination of the examination by the Board of Trade
at the Greenwich Police-court before Mr. Traill and
two nautical assessors ; and he (the coroner) further
remarked that he thought the jury ought to be made
acquainted with the chief sections of the Merchant
Shipping Act relating to the management of passen-
ger ships at sea, quoting from the act of 1862, which
laid down rules relating to the conduct of vessels and
the manner in which they should approach one an-
other. If a vessel was riding at anchor, a bright
white light should be suspended from the mast at a
given distance from the deck, and the light to be
globular. If, however, proceeding on her course, in
addition to the white light (which must then be about
40 feet from the deck), two others should be visible
—a red (port) and green (starboard). The 13th article
plainly set forth that if two ships were approaching
one another, meeting end on, so as to involve risk of
collision, the helms of both vessels must be put to
port, so as to avoid one another. The question was
who was in fault? The 28th section of the act
stated that in case of any
non-observance of any damage to any person or
property arising from the
per-
son or ship, such damage was thrown upon the pr-
son in charge of the ship unless any good reason
could be shown to the Clarkson, Son, and Cooper,
Mr. Cooper (Messrs.
D octors' - comm OD s) appeared for the owners of the
e,arce, solicitor to the General Steam
Haswell ; Mr. P
Navigation Company for the Bruiser ; and Mr. 0. J.
Williams, Lloyd's agent to the General Steam Navi-
gation Company, was also present during the inquiry.
The Coroner sat about five hours, during which
li
time he took somewhat voluminous evidence of the
captain and some of the crew of the two vessels, but
it was very contradictory. The crew of the Haswell
maintained that they " ported" her helm upon seeing
the Bruiser approach and did not change. Those
of the Bruiser acknowledged they staeboarded"
her helm, but in consequence of seeing only a dim
light they acted under the impression that she was
a vessel riding at anchor, and did not discover their
mistake till within a few lengths of her, when it was
too late to " port" the helm, so it was put " hard
" a-starboard," that it might ease the blow, and
allow the vessel to run alongside. They maintained
that had the Haswell starboarded the helm no colli-
sion would have occurred. But in answer to a ques-
tion from the coroner, the captain of the Haswell said
that by starboarding the helm he should have been
acting in direct opposition to the rules laid down.
The inquiry was adjourned till the following day.
LEISTON, Thursday.
The inquiry was resumed this morning, when the

is the chief officer of the steam passengers,
dier, which vessel passed the scene of the accident
a few minutes previous to the collision. He was
going the same way as the llaswell, and passed her
on the port bow, and soon afterwards the Bruiser,
which was going south. As soon as he had passed
the latter vessel she altered her course, running into
his wake and across the bows of the Haswell, who
upon seeing this ported, and kept her helm aport, the
Bruiser keeping her's starboard. The collision imme-
diately occurred, the Haswell striking the Bruiser,
so that the vessels formed the letter T.
The Coroner then summed up the evidence to the
jury dwelling upon the chief facts they had to bear
in wind, and telling them that they must either find
a verdict of manslaughter against John Scott, or
one of accidental death.

The Jury, after being absent an hour and twenty
minutes, came into court with the following verdict :
--That Ada Bell came to her death by drowning,
through a collision between the Haswell and Bruiser,
such collision having taken place through the culpable
negligence of John Scott, the mate of the Bruiser.
The Coroner then committed Scott for trial at the
next assizes. Bail accepted.
