Sixty Thousand Nights' Lodgings, with Suppers and
Breakfasts, have boon 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 pitrts are admitted, the only condition being that
they aro 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, chilcirey, and orphans
aro, for want accommodation, refused admittance, 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 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 boon begun ? Will you help to give
shelter to the really homeless, and food to the really
starving? Tho smallest donation will be most welcome,
and, night and morning, the prayers of the destitute will
be offered in your behalf.

ham during the ensuing year, the estimates of which
are now in course of preparation. The plans for
the -Farious new works and alterations in the existing
buildings, docks, &c., were all laid before their
Lordships, who at the outset expressed their wish
that ony those absolutely requisite to promote the
efficiency of the service should be submitted to them.
After carefully going through the various proposals
by the different heads of departments, only a por-
tion of the number were approved, with the view to
their being carried into effect, their lordships subse-
quently satisfying themselves by a personal inspection
of the several localities that the improvements and
alterations were imperatively called for. After spend-
ing some time in this portion of their duties, the mem-
bers of the Board quitted the office, and proceeded
on a visit to the various vessels building and fit-
ting, the large ironclad frigate Hercules, recently
commenced in No. 2 graving-dock, claiming their
first attention. During the short interval which has
elapsed since the keel of this vessel was laid down
she has made the most rapid progress, and although
the first piece of iron for her construction was lowered
into the dock so recently as the 21st of June last,
the vessel is now almost entirely in frame, and a
considerable portion of her double cellular-bottom
is already completed—a rate of progress, it was re-
marked, which was without a parallel in iron ship-
building. The Hercules is being built on the broad-
side principle,. while her designs, as produced by
Mr. Reed, show that she will surpass every other
vessel of her class in the elements of strength and
offensive and defensive powers. She is to be con-
structed of Bin. of exterior armour-plates, laid on a
backing of 12in. of teak, behind which will be worked
plating of liin. in thickness over 26in. of teak and
the ordinary Via. inner iron skin. Some idea of the
enormous strength may be formed by a comparison
of the Hercules and the Warrior, the latter having
a maximum weight of 4271 b. per square foot ; while
the weight of the former will be 7371 b. per square
foot. It is intended that the Hercules, which will
probably be the last of that class of ships the
present Admiralty will sanction the construction of,
shall be ready for sea within a couple of years. The
dock adjoining that in which the Hercules is under
construction was intended, several months since, for
the new double turret-ship Monarch, to be laid
down and built from Mr. Reed's designs, but up to
the present time nothing has been done in the way
of building that vessel, the unavoidable delay hav-
ing arisen in consequence of the nature of the works
required to be undertaken in order to obtain the
requisite additional length of dock. There is now,
however, every probability of the works which
have engaged the engineering staff of the dock-
yard several months being completed, and in order
that no unnecessary delay might arise it was explained
to their Lordships that the keel of the Monarch is
being constructed alongside the dock ready for
lowering into its place as soon as the dock is ready
for its reception. The only wooden unarmoured
vessel now building at Chatham is the Blanche, ono
of a class of vessels of the Amazon type, designed by
Mr. E. J. Reed, the Chief Constructor of the Navy,
but already it would appear that the Admiralty have
decided on making some important alterations in her
character and form, conspicuous among which will
be the dispensing with the low underwater protrud-
ing stem, by which it is anticipated that additional
fineness will be imparted to her bow, which, from
her appearance yesterday, will still present the bluff-
shaped stem, receding inboard. After spending some
short time in inspecting the Blanche and conferring
with the master-shipwright as to the character of
the deviations from the original designs of this
vessel, their Lordships next visited the slip on which
the two-decker line-of-battle screw steamer Bulwark
has been lying for a great number of years, about
one-third completed. One of the last acts of the
late Board of Admiralty was to direct plans, draw-
ings, and estimates to be prepared for converting
this vessel into au armour-plated ship. As this,
however, will snake it necessary to remove at least
one of her decks and to cut her down, while after
all she will, if completed, be nothing more than a
makeshift for au ironclad, it is not probable that her
alteration , at least in the form originally contemplated,
will be carried into effect. The small gun vessel Myrmi-
don, also lying idle on the stocks, was next visited
by their Lordships, who also went on board the
screw corvette Reindeer, 200 horse-power, one of
the latest and most improved forms of the corvette
class of steamers. She is now rapidly approach-
ing completion for her first commission, and will
be ready for undocking at the end of the present
month. The new system of working iron in con-
siderable quantities into a wooden vessel has been
adopted to a considerable extent in the case of this
vessel, with the most satisfactory results. After
leaving the Reindeer the members of the board pro-
ceeded through the smithery, and inspected the new
machinery and additional ponderous steam ham-
mers recently erected, to be used in the preparation
of the iron required in the construction of the new
ironclad ships now building, as well as those con-
templated. The latest addition to this department
of the dockyard includes a large steam hammer of a
size considerably greater than any hitherto in use at
either of the Royal dockyards. Completing their
inspection of the smiths' shops, their lordships re-
turned through the yard to the official residence of
Cant.-Superintendent Stewart, where they lunched.
In the afternoon they left the dockyard for the
Royal Marine Barracks, when the whole of the
officers and men of the division were drawn up on
the parade-ground, under the command of Colonel
Commandant J. 0. Travers, C. 8., with the divi-
sional and Queen's colours and the band. On the
arrival of their Lordships, who were received by
General Stransham, the parade gave the usual salute
with the colours in front, the band playing " Rule
Britannia." After witnessing the officers and men
execute a few manoeuvres, and visiting a portion of
the barrack quarters, they proceeded to inspect the
men's quarters, mess-room, and the new range of
buildings just completed adjoinining the Marine
Barracks, and intended as quarters for the officers
of the corps. The buildings occupy a portion of
the dockyard appropriated by the Admiralty for
that purpose, and they are exceedingly commodious
and handsome, the whole, when completed
and the intervening buildings removed, forming
a continuation of the present barracks. Their Lord-
ships next visited the Royal Naval Hospital at Mel-
ville, where they were joined by the Naval Com-
mander-in-Chief, Vice-Admiral Sir Baldwin W.
Walker, and having spent a short time at that es-
tablishment they proceeded to the gun-shed battery,
where they witnessed the officers and gunners of the
Royal Marines exercise at the great gun drill, in
working and manoeuvring the great ship guns, with
which the battery is furnished. At the close of the
day's inspection, which was prolonged until late in
the afternoon, their lordships returned to the dock-
yard, where Admiral Sir John hay inspected the
storehouses and some other departments. In the
evening their lordships entertained a select party at
dinner on board their steam yacht Enchantress, in
Chatham-harbour, sleeping on board last night.
They will resume and bring to a close their inspec-
tion at Chatham to-day, proceeding afterwards in
the Enchantress to Sheerness, to visit the naval es-
tablishments at that station.
