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. 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, 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 £l,OOO more will he required.
Besides providing shelter for the homeless, this year it
is proposed, as far as the donations obtained for the pur-
poso 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.

General Butler and Wendell Phillips on the
Rampage.

-
(Front the New York Herald.)

We publish this morning two important docu-
ments,
.showing the drift of events on the Radical
side in this political contest. One is the speech of
General Butler at Gloucester, Massachusetts, the
other a letter from Wendell Phillips, published in
the Anti-Slavery Standard. They are both charac-
teristic documents, and just such as we might have
expected from these men. Of the two productions
that of Wendell Phillips exhibits the greatest tact,
shrewdness, philosophy,
and honesty. They are
both filled with venom and extreme bitterness
against the President, and call for the adoption of
extraordinary measures to put him out of the way,
or, to use the language of Phillips, " to find some
measure fit and efficient to serve their purpose—
the deposition of theperjured and usurping traitor."
This is the language used against the Chief Magis-
trate of the nation, who has the firmness to stand by
the constitution in this trying hour of the nation.
The Philadelphia Convention and the South form,
however, the burden of both these manifestoes.
Butler endeavours to show that the Convention
amounted to nothing,
yet in his very argument he
proves it was a formidable affair. Wendell Phillips,
on the other hand, starts out with the declaration
that it is of the greatest importance—if not in im-
mediate results, it will " prepare a way for a des-
perate conflict in 1868," and calls upon the Radicals'
to prepare for a struggle, pointing out as one of the
means the deposal of Andrew Johnson.

From the tone and temper of the speech of
Butler we infer that he is ready, at least in the
use of words, to carry out this doctrine advo-
cated by the old abolition apostle. His
courage, which failed him at Fort Fisher and
prompted him to testify before the Committee
on the Conduct of the War that Fort Fisher
could not be eaptured—_ancl that, too, when the
committee had in their possession a despatch
stating that it had been captured—has all of a sud-
den returned to him, now that there are no more
forts to capture or armies to confront. Butler is
a brave man when he has a few defenceless women
and unarmed people to govern and plunder in New
Orleans, or is on the stump in Massachusetts, where
he does nothave to confront the men whom he de-
fames. His courage knows no bounds on such occa-
sions. He is then full of pluck, and can order a raid
upon the vaults of some bank, direct the seizure of
some family spoons, or harangue

all this, be now proposes to hang all the people in
the South, unless they will permit the slaves which
Butler captured to rule them. "If," says Butler,
" I am asked how long I would keep these men out
of the Union, I say, keep them out until the heavens
melt with fervent heat ; and if it should not come
in this generation we will swear our sons to keep
them out." His speech throughout is of this violent
character. He is evidently trying to convince the
people of Massachusetts that he has crawled out of
the bottle which General Grant placed him in, and
that he is ready to fight, now that the South has
laid down their arms and there is no danger of their
firing back.
What Butler says in regard to the issues has
an important bearing upon the contest. He is
one of the acknowledged high priests of the
Radical party. He is in that respect a repre-
sentative man—the same as the leaders in the French
Revolution 'were in their day. lle has all the inso-
lence and cowardice 'of Marat, the bloodthirstiness,
but not the magnanimity, of Robespierre, and all the

A collision has already taken place. During the
night of the 28th ult. the Turkish inhabitants of
the district of Selimou endeavoured to dislodge a
Greek corps from the position it had taken up, but
after a pretty brisk engagement the Turks were
repulsed. Next day they returned to the attack in
greater force, and the struggle was still continuing
with much vigour upon both sides when the courier
left. Communications being cutoff, the letters that
have reached Athens from the seaboard towns con.-
thin no details as to the ultiniate result. A Turkish
corps encamped in the immediate vicinity of the
scene of action maintained complete neutrality—it
is supposed because its commander did not think it
sufficiently strong to attack. This is the more pro-
bable because the Turkish Government is known to
have sent orders to the Egyptian general to expe-
dite reinforcements by sea, and the latter has re-
fused. In consequence of the discord existing
between the Turkish and Egyptian pashas the latter
has been recalled, and the Egyptian troops have
been placed under the command of Sahia Pasha, the
Turkish general.
A more important fact, however, than these
skirmishes is the proclamation of the Cretan
Assembly-General, announcing the annexation of
Candia to Greece. A translation of the document
forwarded to the foreign consuls upon this subject
will be found below. It contains a succinct and
faithful narrative of the rise of the present out-
break, the original object of which was to obtain
domestic reforms, but which has now assumed an
altogether different character.
The impression produced at Athens and in the
provinces by these events is immense. Interior
conflicts are set aside ; partisans of all shades of
opinion are occupied solely with the one idea of
national aggrandisement. The people and the Go-
vernment, however, display great sagacity. The
Greeks are thoroughly well aware that they are not
at present in a position to make war upon Turkey,
and while they, do not disguisE. that their good
wishes and sympathies go With the insurgents, they
do nothing that might compromise them with their
more powerful neighbour. Committees . are or-
ganised in All the towns, but only to assist the
wounded and emigrants (more than 3,000 of the
latter, old men, women, and children, have already
arrived). It is said that ships have succeeded in
forcing the blockade and in landing munitions and
volunteers, but, if true, these acts have been
effected with the greatest secrecy.
The attitude of the young King is looked upon
as very judicious. His Majesty is said to have ad-
dressed expressions of a very warlike character to
the Ministers of the three Powers, but there is not
one word of truth in the report. The papers say
that the Turkish Minister has forwarded repeated
notes to the Greek Government, drawn up in a very
menacing style ; but the fact is-that one note only
has been received by King George's administration,
couched in extremely moderate terms, and asking
simply for explanations as to ferture conduct. The
Greek Government replied that it had determined
to preserve the strictest neutrality, but that the
laws of the country did not permit it to throw ob-
stacles in the way of private displays of opinion..
.The Government has also addressed a memorial to
the foreign Powers, in which it pleads the cause of
the 'Cretans, but this document has not y.et been
published.
The following is the communication above alluded
to, as addressed to the foreign consuls by the Cretan
Assembly-General :
MM. les Consuls, —Relying upon the strength of our
rights, positive as well as natural, full of confidence in the
protection of the Most High, and in the support-of the
opinion of the civilised world, we boldly raise the standard
of national unity, and declare solemnly that it is our con-
stant and unalterable will to recover our independence-
The undersigned, representatives of the Christian popula-
tion of Candia, hasten to transmit to the representatives of
the Christian Powers the unanimous decision of that people,
and, while asking for that assistance, they call their atten-
tion to the following points calculated to enlighten their
Governments as to the situation. Greeks by descent and
language, we supported with our compatriots, in order to
conquer our independence, a stubborn struggle, which,
commencing in 1821, lasted for nine years. We were forced
to lay down arms in 1830, in obedience to the exhortations
and the promises the great Powers put forward through
their representatives in the protocol's of Dec. 12, 1828.
While taking note of the recognition, officially proclaimed
in these protocols, of our acquired rights, we loudly re-
pelled, in the unity of the interest and integrity of the
Greek nation, the state of vassalage proposed to us in 1830,
by virtue of the treaty concluded at London, July 6, 1827,
and wo preferred the continuation of slavery to the division
of our nationality into minute portions. From this time
forth we have not ceased to protest against the injustice of
the decision by force of which we were separated, like bas-
tard children, from Greece, our mother country. We have
protested, sometimes by taking up arms, as in 1833, 1841,
and 1858, sometimes peaceably and unarmed, as in 1865 and
1866. After, having thus repudiated, in the interest of na-
tional unity, the offer of being erected into a principality—
an offer made to us in 1830 through the late King Leopold
of Belgium, and renewed by Lord Palmerston, Oct. 21,
1839—we were again compelled to submit to the crushing
and retrograde rule of the Sublime Porte. Accepting our
fate with resignation, we applied ourselves to developing
our political life in conformity with the civilised principles
of our age. But our efforts have been in vain. The ethno-
logical differences that separate us from the dominant race
race render all progrossimpossiblo. Upon various occasions
—and notably in 1858—we have wrested from the Sublime
Porte privileges and institutions worthy of those that pre-
vail in Europe, but experience has shown the inutility of
these concessions—an inutility due to the religious charac-
ter of the dominant race. We were wrong to believe in the
sincerity of the concessions made by the Hat-houmayoun of
1857, and we ventured to unite last year (1865) in order to
submit to the sublime Porte, by means of a respectful peti-
tion, the material, moral, and intellectual wants of the co un-
try. But the present governor, Ismail Pasha (ono of the
most civilised governors we over had) had no sooner learnt
our intention of exercising the right of petition than he
hastened to dissolve the assemblyof those we hadappointed
to deliberate upon the wants of the country. He thus re-
pressed and frustrated the expression of our wishes by
, means of corruption and armed force. Possessing neither

wrote Gay, in 1724, and so it has remained until
the present time ; but a great change is now im-
pending. The recent decision of the Government to
present to the Royal Academy a portion of the house
and grounds, and the proposed destruction of its
Most distinctive feature, the classic collonade and
gateway, will destroy almost all that is interesting
of the "oldest house in Piccadilly."
In Faithorne's map of London, published just
before the restoration of Charles IL, we may see
that a traveller leaving London from its western
side would find himself in a quiet country road,
with pleasant fields on either hand, and before him
open country as far as the eye could reach. During
the reign of Charles 11. the aspect was much altered;
the residence of the Court at Whitehall, the improve-
ments made by the famous French gardener, Le
Notre, in St. James's Park, and the popularity of
the Mall as a place of public resort, naturally led to
the adjacent parts being selected by the nobility for
the erection of their mansions. The earliest of these
were those of Lords Clarendon and Berkeley, and
the mansion since known as Burlington House. The
latter was begun by the poet architect Sir John
Denham in 1665; from some cause, not clearly ex-
plained, but darkly alluded to by Pepys as trouble
arising out of his wife's conduct at the Court of the
Merry Monarch, the house passed into the hands of
Boyle, Lord Burlington, and was completed by him
in 1668. Quaint Samuel Pepys gives an amusing
account of the mishap that occurred to him on his
first visit to Burlington House. " Sept. 28, 1668
Thence to my Lord Burlington's house, the first
time I ever was there, it being the house built by Sir
John Denham next to Clarendon House. . . .

Here I first saw and saluted my Lady Burlington, a
very fine speaking lady and a good woman, but old
and not handsome, but a brave woman. Here I also,
standing by a candle that was brought for sealing a
letter, do set my perriwig on fire, which made such an
odd noise, nobody could tellwhat it was, till they saw
the flame, my back being to the candle." The first
house was of red brick, almost devoid of ornament,
surrounded by a low wall, the front planted with
trees, with a pleasant garden in the rear, stretching
away to the Conduit-mead, the name of which is
still preserved in the street, where, as Macaulay
says, "He who then rambled to what is now the
gayest and most crowded part of Regent-street,
found himself in a solitude, and was sometimes so
fortunate as to have a shot at a woodcock." On
the western side stood the splendid mansion of Lord
Chancellor Clarendon, and at a 'short distance,
Lord Berkeley of Stratton's, the site of which is now
Berkeley-square. Shortly after houses were built
on the eastern side by Sir Thomas Clarges and the
Countess Denbigh.

The origin of the name of Piccadilly is somewhat
uncertain ; Lord Clarendon mentions the gaming
house which stood at the end of the Haymarket,
" as a fair house of entertainment, called ' Picca-
dilly." Coventry House, the residence of Lord
Keeper Coventry, was afterwards built on the site.
Pennant says that the name was derived from the
piccadillas or turnovers sold there, whilst Cunning-
ham suggests that the most likely solution is that
it was so called after one Higgins, who built it
temp. James 1., and who got most of his estate by,
pickadilles, a kind of stiff collar much worn in Eng-
land from 1605 to 1620. The name was at first
only applied to that portiop of the street reaching
from the Haymarket to Sackville-street ; from
thence to where Albemarle-street now stands was
called Portugal-street, after Catherine of Braganza,
Queen of Charles 11. All beyond was the great
Bath-road, or way to Reding. After the great fire
in 1666 the nobility gradually migrated westwa dof

voSroohigoo-sqpuraitrioe, were among the
see Bloomsbury-square as one of the wonders of
England. Soho-square, which had just been built,
was to our ancestors a subject of pride with which
their posterity will hardly sympathise. About
1680, on the space then known as St. James-
fields, Jermyn-street, with St. James's-square and
the adjacent streets, were built by Henry J ermyn,
Lord St. Alban's, who also contributed largely
towards the building of St.James's Church, designed
and completed by Sir Christopher Wren in 1865,
the district allotted to which had previously formed
part of the parish of St. Martin's-in-the-fields.
With an Qxterior, plain almost to meanness, the
interior has justly been considered one. of Wren's

"Luxurious lobster nights farewell,
For sober studious days,
And Burlington's delicious meal,
For salads, tarts, and peas"—
we may infer that while there was a "feast of
reason" the comforts of the inner man were not
neglected. Handel lived three years in the house.
The pictures spoken of in Gay's lines were those on
the staircase and ceiling, executed for the earl by
Sebastian and Marco Ricci, with the exception of
that in the reception-saloon, which is attributed to
Sir James Thornhill. Earl Burlington died in
1753. Lord Orford, in his "Anecdotes of Painting,"
says that, " It has been observed of him that, never
was protection and great wealth more generously
and more judiciously diffused than by this great
person, who had every quality of a genius and artist
except cuvy." Nor was his munificence confined to
himself and his own houses, he spent great sums in
contributing to public works, and was known to
choose that the expense should fall on himself rather
than his country should be deprived of them. At
his death the title became extinct ; by the marriage
of his daughter the house passed into the family of
Cavendish. With the exception of some alterations
of a minor character, made early in the present
century, the exterior remains unchanged. The
Duk of Portland occupied it during the time he
was Prime Minister. After the conclusion of peace,
in 1815, the Allied Sovereigns were entertained here
by the members of White's Club at a grand banquet,
at which 2,000 persons are said to have been present
and the cost to have been nearly £lO,OOO. In 1852
the house and grounds were purchased by the Go-
vernment for the sum of £170,000 ; it is nearly four
acres in extent. It has since been jointly occupied
by the University of London and the Royal and
other learned societies. If some interest is attached
to it relating to the past, the future is of brightest
promise. By the proposed union of science and art
at this spot we trust the walls may yet with
" animated pictures live," and philosophers listen to
" The fairy tales of science and the slow results of time,"
in a home worthy of their high purpose.

It was the " thing " for dukes, prelates, and merchant
princes to have town houses in Soho-square. The Pantheon
then was not so far away from the world as it seems now.
Dean-street itself was inhabited, during the London sea- .
son, by persons of wealth, if not of rank, and Mrs. Thralo
received company in it; while lines of carriages vouched
(as the " gig" did for the criminal) for the respectability of
the owners. Dean-street is now as shabby a locality as
lovers of the drama can be invited to; but thither Miss DI.
Oliver summons the public, and, as princes go as far east
as Tottenham-street, she may hope to catch them, or at
least a few peers, in Soho.
