It affords relief to a large number of in-patients, and, in
addition to this, the average number of attendance of the
lestitute sick has for a considerable period averaged between
2,000 and 4,000 weekly.
The Committee earnestly solicit the ASSISTANCE of the

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 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. 'Die 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, 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 £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, 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,

TEETH AND PAINLESS DENTISTRY.-
The fear of pain and dread of ope. ation inherent to all
deter very many to whom ARTIFICIAL TEETH 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 speeialite i ertaining 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 support•ng instead of extrac-
tion of loose teeth until they become firm and useful in mas-
tication, and the utter absence of all and every operation, so
that the most nervous person can be supplied without fear of
pain or inconvenience. These teeth are cheaper, more dur-
able, natural, and comfortable than any yet produced.
Consultation free. Teeth from ss, Sets from 5 to 25 gs.,
warranted.

For the efficacy, utility, and success of this systcm, vide

A Capital Day with the Kildares.

On Tuesday last, the 27th inst., the above pack
met for the first time, we believe, at Cross Keys,
near Moore Abbey. The first draw being a new
cover, recently made by T. Cr. Waters, Esq., at
Kilpatrick, a very nice gorse cover, when, unfor-
tunately, a vixen was chopped. They then trotted
on to Hybla (Moore Abbey being avoided owing to
a couple of litters of promising young cubs,) when
a brace of foxes immediately broke, and the hounds
were quickly got on, but, unfortunately, the wrong
one, a vixen--she gave them, however, a nice run
through Clondown, across to Mr. Rice, facing for
Dunmully, where she was headed, and turned to
the canal, back through Ballykelly, and into the
cover ; she thus broke along the railroad towards
Kildare, where several of the red coats in hot pursuit
rode along the rails. As either side (in Lachagh
Moors) was not rideable, the two o'clock train to
Dublin was nearly brought to a standstill, to avoid
a collision, and meantime a check and some delay
having occurred, the huntsman, knowing it was a
vixen, did not persevere, and drew off his hounds.
The next order of the baron was the fine gorse
cover on the Curragh, always a sure find. In a few
moments a fine dog fox broke in gallant style, and
ran nearly parallel to the railroad in the Rathbride
side as if going to Miltown, but after traversing a
couple of fields, turned to the right, through Pol-
lardstown. 4; Heads up and sterns down " being
the order of the day, across the railroad at the back
of the Stand House, through Mr. Ryan's land of
Ballymany (the wdl known Newbridge race course)
into Moorfield, running through ,the lawn and
straight across the lowlands at the back of New-
bridge barracks. c' On, on," was the word, across
the Liffey, above Newbridge, much swollen by the
recent rains, through Mr. Foffys, of Faircross, into
Beaurehard, and on through Ladytown, within a
short distance of Naas town, when unaccountably
the scent failei, and Reynard eluded his pursuers.
Seldom have me seen a more brilliant run for the
first thirty-five minutes, during which time we
should lay at least seyen miles were traTerlied.

liament as a Liberal member, of running from my
allegiance to the Liberal cause on .a vital point,' and
as I understand it, convey an imputation of bad
faith on my part towards my constituents. I sub-
mit to you that there is no ground for such an im-
putation. On the 3d of May last I made a speech
in the House of Commons, in which I strenuously
opposed any reduction in the pecuniary amount of
the borough franchise. On the 20th of June last,
in anticipation of the general election, I issued to you
an address, of which the following are extracts :
" Our tranquillity and content I attribute to a
well-founded conviction on the part of the people
that justice is fairly administered, and the business
of government and legislation conducted in the spirit
and imriartiplii?, At-- ---
munity. So long as this shall be the easel see no rea-
son for great organic changes in institutions which,
although partaking largely of the imperfection inci-
dental to all things human, and susceptible doubtless
of great improvements as our experience widens and
ripens, have combined order and liberty, stability
and progress in a greater degree than the institu-

tions of any other nation. Any one who points out
a practical evil in the working of our Constitution
is entitled to a respectful hearing, and any one who
suggests an efficient remedy for such evil shall have
my earnest support. But I attach too much impor-
tance to the blessings we already enjoy to risk them
in pursuit of ideal perfection, or even theoretical
improvement.'
" I expanded the same sentiments in a speech
which I made to you on the day of election, the
12th of July last. It is therefore, I think, quite
clear that I have dealt with you in the fullest good
faith, and that no elector has any reason to con-
sider himself overreached or aggrieved by the course
which I have taken with regard to a measure of the
very kind which I distinctly informed you I could
not support.

" Thirdly, you observe, ' with pain and regret,
the unjust and ungenerous satire which I have flung
en the masses of my fellow-countrymen,' and you
assert that, speaking of them, I say if you want
venality, ignorance, drunkenness, and the means of
intimidation ; if you want impulsive, unreflecting,
violent people, where would you look ?' These
words are in the middle of a sentence, the beginning
and end of which have been omitted ; had the pas-
sage been submitted to you in full, I think you
would have seen that it did not refer to the masses
of my working fellow-countrymen at all, but only
to practices which notoriously exist in some boroughs
among the poorer class of electors. I was arguing
that the proposed Franchise Bill would increase
corruption and other malpractices at elections, and

I put it thus in substance:—lf you find these prac-
tices prevail principally among the poorer class of
the present electors, will you not give a great im-
pulse to them by lowering the franchise from £lO to
? The whole passage as reported in the 7 inzes,
stands thus I have had opportunities of knowing
some of the constituencies in this country, and I ask
if you want venality, ignorance, drunkenness, and
the means of intimidation ; if you- want impul-
sive, unreflecting, violent people, where will you go
to look for them—to the top or to the bottom'—of
what? Of the constituencies, of course. You will
see by comparing this passage with the portion
quoted in the protest you have signed that its im-
port is entirely changed by the omission of the be-
ginning and end, and, instead of being pointed, as
it was intended to be, at abuses notoriously exist-
ing in many constituencies, and daily exposed be-
fore the election committees now sitting, it is made
to appear as an indiscriminate censure of a whole
class, of which I was not speaking. I entirely agree
with you, gentlemen, as to the possession by large
numbers of the masses of my fellow-working coun-
trymen of great prudence, self-reliance, and perse-
verance, and, indeed, of many other qualities to
which we owe the present position of England
among the nations of the world. But you will now
see that as I was not, as you suppose, speaking of
those masses, I cannot be correctly said to '-ignore'
these good qualities because I did not mention them.
My view has always been, as I expressed it in my
speech on the 3d May last, that the franchise, as at
present established, is a ' vast instrument of good,
a lever by which we may hope to elevate the work-
ing classes, requiring a little and only a little effort
and self-denial on their part; a little security that
they are able to conduct their own affairs, before
we intrust them with ours' Since I made. that re-
mark it has been proved by the Government returns
that at least a fifth of the borough constituencies
is made up of working men. I rejoice at it, and, as
a friend of every class in the community, I think it
much better that this natural process should be left
to work itself out than to be artificially accelerated,
and should consider it very unfair to the working
men who have already achieved this honourable dis-
tinction to mix them up with others who may not
have eiercised the same prudence and self 'denial.
Such, gentlemen, are the enlenationti I We to

came from one quarter. I believe there were many elements
at work, and possibly all parties were to blame. Perhaps
each wished to take on themselves the exclusive credit of
carrying a Reform Bill—perhaps some honestly holding
moderate opinions on one side, and others holding opinions
more advanced on the other, and so they were unwilling to
come to one ; and thus, between the parties in the State and
the agitation, this question has been tossed to and fro till it
seemed almost impossible to bring it to a solution, and
added to that was the undoubted fact that the country was
not disposed to rise as it did in 1832. The country was
prosperous and contented, and there was none of that ex-
ternal stimulus to force measures through an arathetic
House of Commons. Well, then, I say the question, the only
question which Government had to consider was, is it
possible to carry a Reform Bill or not ; and, if so, in what
way it will be easiest and best to carrysuch a bill? Because
I think you will agree that after the history of these mea-
sures it would not be consistent with the character of the
House of Commons, nor consistent with the character of
public men, that a bill should again be tabled without a
determined and resolute attempt to carry a measure that
was believed to be for the benefit of the country. Well,
Lord Russell's Government has proposed a measure for the
extension of the franchise only, and that measure places
the extension at £7, not a very alarming proposition, I
think, and I do not see what people are afraid of in it. The
question is, Can it be carried? I believe it canbe carried,
and I believe it will. (Loud cheers.) But it is said the Go-
vernment do not propose a redistribution of seats. Well,
there is only one reason for their not proposing that—
namely, that it would be difficult to carry it; and there is
only one objection to not proposing it, and that is that it
would be more easy to carry the bill as it stands. I
greatly suspect that that is the true objection. Lord
Russell thought it wise to do one thing at a time; that
it might, perhaps, in the end be the swiftest course to-
wards the object we had at heart, and accordingly we pro-
posed to deal with the franchise first and the redistribution
of seats afterwards. Now, as to the redistribution of seats,
I wonder what my friends would have said if wehadbegun
with the Scotch Reform Bill. What is to be our distribu- I
tion of seats ? I don't think we have got any to distribute.
The only distribution of seats we look for is a little share
of those which are disfranchised in the other kingdom. But
we have no corruption in. Scotland ; we have no Cables
or boroughs of that kind, and I don't think that any of our
seats are to be disfranchised, and none therefore are to be
teltar l lovwjelin gsthe frn ise, wherfe.';iiirld liavetti
the objection to dealing with that by itself ? And does it
make the slightest difference that from the nature of the
constituencies in England there is a variety of boroughs
which it would be well to unite in groups or to suppress,
and that there are large constituencies that require addi-
tional members? Surely that is a subject quito large
enough to occupy Parliament in a session of itself. It is

friends,' You would l-eeag

tion. I would reply to my ittha-
country in a state of chronic agitation ; for if
House of Commons never to pass a Reform Bill unless it be
a large and comprehensive scheme, what would be the re-
sult ? The probable result would be this : This year will
be as other years have been. We shall go on spending our
spring days and summer nights in party conflicts, and the
session will end as it began, and no Reform Bill will be
passed at all. (Hear, hear.) But, gentlemen, there is no
chronic agitation to be feared. The pressure of public
opinion will settle this matter as it ought to be settled.
Some people talk of final measures. I know of no finality
in legislation of that kind. (Hear, hear.) We are deal-
ing with a matter that ought never to be final. The ad-
justment of the franchise in this country ought to vary
as the position of the people varies. The object is
to represent the people, and if the people alter, the
system of representation—not in its principle, but in its
mode and details—ought to alter ; and therefore it is vain
to say we want a measure to settle the question. Never-
theless, I do believe by extending the franchise to £7 we
shall have a solid resting place, which for the present
wants of the community may be sufficient, and we may

then turn our attention with peace and comfort to the
large social and other questions that demand the attention
of Parliament. But is any one so blind as to imagine that if
this Bill be thrown out wo aro going to rest in peace and
quiet ? I am glad to say there is no agitation of the kind
we had in 1862, and happy is the country where organic
change in the Constitution is treated with quietness, consi-
deration, calmness, and good sense. But I will just say this,'
that the calm consideration which the people are willing
to give to a question of political expediency they would
not be prepared to give to a question that strikes at the
very root of the representative system itself. (Cheers.)
But it is said this will admit a very large number of the
working classes. Gentlemen, I wish the question had
not been so much argued on the ,footing of the working
classes. Parliament does not enfranchise classes; it en-
franchises men. (Loud cheers.) We have no classes in
our electoral body ; we have no body of men who act as a
class in the exercise of the franchise. Where are the
classes that band together as electors under the present
system 1 They are unknown ; and when you admit the
persons who come in between £7 and £lO, no doubt you
dig deeper into society, but you will find in the same body
of men you admit the same diversifies, the same indepen-
deuce of thought, and the same desire to work out their
individual opinions as you find in the existing consti-
tuency. Why, then, harp about the working classes ? My
friend Mr. Lowe has a,very great fear of the working classes.
I listened to his speech last session, when he depicted a
kind of mob outside the palisade of the Constitution ready
to rush in and destroy us. I listened with wonder and
amazement to so verydifferent an estimate from that which,
from the opportunities I had had, I had formed of what are
called the working classes. But this year Mr. Lowe has
had his blue-book, and the blue-book showed, as he most
triumphantly asserted, that the working classes had quite
sufficient representation already, and constituted from
one-fourth to one-fifth of the whole constituency. It never
seemed to occur to him that if that was the case these
working men had had their own share in that good Go-
vernment which he so much applauded—(loud chTina;

Now there lies the whole principle of the struggle. I be-
lieve the more electors of independence and intelligence
you have, not merely do you not encourage revolution, but
you directly strengthen our institutions ; that the more
persons you have within the franchise the greater is the

should throw himself upon.
other matters might not be brought into it.
Mr. Dempster said that relieved him of a great deal of re-
sponsibility, and perhapshe could now conduct the case him-
self. The learned gentleman proceeded to say that on Sun-
day afternoon last Capt. Norton was walking on the Espla_
nade between 5 and 6 o'clock, when Lord Ranelagh and
party met him. It appeared Lord Ranelagh shook his fist
in Captain Norton's face, called him, he (Mr. Dempster)
believed, a scoundrel and a blackguard, and threatened his
life. Captain Norton, he must admit, struck Lord
Ranelagh, and struck him, he believed, more than once;
but Captain Norton did not strike Lord Ranelagh until
after the assault had been committed of which he now
complained—until after Lord Ranelagh had shaken his fist
in Captain Norton's face, and had used the words which
induced Captain Norton to strike his lordship. Captain
Norton and Lord Ranelagh were, it appeared, separated
by the by-standers. When he (Mr. Dempster) was con-
sulted, as a lawyer, to prevent a further breach of the
peace, he recommedded that these proceedings be taken.
Perhaps these gentlemen would rather have fought it out;
but he should have been no party to that, and as the dif-
ference had to be settled he suggested that it should be
settled here. These were really the whole facts of the case.
There were other facts connected with it ; but it was un-
necessary for that to be entered into, as Lord Ranelagh
said they were to confine themselves to this case. Ho
would now proceed to call witnesses.
At this moment Mr. Oppenheim, barrister, entered the
court, accompanied by Mr. Davis, solicitor, London, and
apologised to the Court for being so late in attending. He
had not seen the summons, and did not know the hour
when the Court met. Mr. Dempster having stated the
facts of the case, it would only be necessary forhim to re-
mark that it was not his wish nor that of his client that
anything should be brought before the Court but the
actual facts of what occurred on the Marine-parade.

Mr. Bigge (stipAndiary magistrate) said Lord Banelagli
had just said he wished their attention to be confined to
what actually occurred on this occasion.

Mr. Oppenheim said that exactly coincided with his in-
structions he had received.

Mr. Bigge said Mr. Dempster had told them that Lord
Ranelagh had shaken his fist in Captain Nov ton n‘T

Mr. Oppenheim—And, further, that when he met him
alone he would take his life.

Lord Ranelagh—l perhaps may save the time of the
Court by at once admitting that I did use those words to
Captain Norton. I wish only to say 1 did so under great
and gross provocation that I have suffered for some time
but which I shall not allude to in this court. I have fre-
quently written to this gentleman—
Mr. Opponheim—Well, now, if these matters are entered
into—

Lord Ranelagh—No, they will not be ; I stand corrected.

(Loud applause in court.) All I bog and ask of the Court
is, that you won't bind over Captain Norton at all events.
(Laughter.) I am not afraid of Captain Norton. (Renewed
laughter and cheers.)
Mr. Verrall (magistrates' clerk) told Lord Ranelagh the
charge, and said he understood his lordship to admit it, and
to be prepared to enter into such recognfsances as the Bench
might think proper. He understood Lord Ranelagh to plead
guilty to having so acted.
Lord Ranelagh—l do, certainly ; not only on this occa-
sion, but on many others.
Mr. Oppenheim said Lord Ranelagh had just now re-
marked that he was surprised any gentleman wearing her
Majesty's uniform should have adopted these proceedings.
Captain Norton was in this position—He might have
bowed to the offence and insult offered him, but if he had
yielded to that it would have reflected on his honour and
credit as an officer ; or he might have taken the law into

his own hands, which might have appeared to Lord Rune-
lagh and some of his friends very chivalrous, but which
would not pe permitted or allowed ; or he would have to
come here to vindicate himself from this insult offered to
him. Therefore he had no other course than this to pursue.

After a brief consultation,
Mr. Bigge (stipendiary magistrate) said Lord Ranelagh
had pleaded guilty, and hal expressed his willingness to bet
bound over himself. As this, however, was a serious case,
the Bench had decided on binding over Lord Ranelagh in,
his own recognisance of £5OO, and further to order him t c 4.
find one surety in £5OO or two in £250.

Lord Ranelagh—And for what term ? (Loud laughter.)
Mr. Bigge—Six months.
Captain Spencer Cosby Price at once offered himself as
Lord Ranelagh's surety, and was of course accepted.
The case excited great interest. There was a full bench

of magistrates, and the court was crowded, many noblemen
and gentlemen of position being present. On leaving the
court Lord Ranahigh was surrounded by quite a little
crowd of sympathisers.
