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, aro given gratuitously every week. The poor
from all parts are admitted, the only condition being that
they are homeless and starving. Tho 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, refusedadmittanco, 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 I,e 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 tamilies
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 operation inherent to all
deter very many to whom ARTIFICIAL TEETH are of
vital importance from availing themselves of the services of
a dentiA. 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 specialite l 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 ot loose teeth until They become firm and useful in mas-
tication, and the utter absence of all and every operation, so

ARRIVAL OF THE AFRICA.
QUEENSTO wzr, Sunday.

The Royal mail steamship Africa, from Halifax
and Boston, arrived here at 10 30 a.m. to-day, with
67 passengers and $7,000 in specie. She landed all
her mails, which consisted of 125 sacks, and three
passengers, and proceeded at 10 50 a.m. for Liver-
pool—all well.
NEW YORK, March 27, Eevening.

General Lee's evidence before the reconstruction
committee declares that nothing like sentiments of
hostility to the Federal Government, or combinations
or conspiracies having that end in view, exist in
Virginia. He says :—" The people, though disap-
pointed and saddened, accept the result of the war
submissively, and are now only looking to their
material interests. The surest means of reconciling
the people and making them cordial supporters of
the Government, is to grant them equal political
rights with other states." He considers that
Virginia would be much better off without the
negroes. He repudiates the idea that cruelties
were purposely inflicted on Federal prisoners.
Several gentlemen from Virginia who were sent
as a delegation to President Johnson have also
testified to the absence of any design on the part of
the people to renew the conflict. They stated that
the people at large were unalterably opposed to the
extension of political rights to negroes, but that the
Legislature was removing obnoxious discrepancies
in the civil law between whites and blacks. The
delegation believed that in the case of foreign war
Virginia would be loyal to the Government and the
Union. Generals Terry, Turner, and Brown con-
curred, however, in stating that the sentiments of
the people of Virginia regarding the Government
were unimpaired, and, if anything, embittered since
General Lee's surrender. At that time people were
sick of war, and ready to accept the pardon of the
Government on any terms, whereas they are now
arrogant, exacting, and intolerant. Most of the
witnesses of strong Union sentiments considered the
withdrawal of the Federal troops and of the
Freedmen's Bureau would be followed by the unre-
lenting proscription and remission to slavery of the
negro population.

NEW YORK, March 29 (Evening).
President Johnson has sent a message to the
Senate, vetoing the Civil Rights Bill. He argues
that it is unconstitutional, unnecessary, and anoma-
lous in its character, and would overide the rights
of the States as reserved in their legislatures and
judicial tribunals. He adds :—" The grave ques-
tion presents itself whether, where eleven States
are not represented in Congress, it is sound policy
to make the whole coloured population, and other
excepted classes, citizens of the United States. Can
it reasonably be supposed that four millions of
negroes, who have just emerged from slavery, pos-
sess the necessary qualifications entitling them to
all the privileges of citizenship, whilst intelligent
foreigners undergo five years' probation before
becoming citizens ? The details of the bill are
fraught with evil. The distinction of race and
colour is made to operate in favour of the coloured
against the white race. The general Government
by this bill takes and assumes powers which, if
acquiesced in, would destroy the federative system
of limited powers, and break down the barriers
preserving the rights of the States. It is another
stride towards centralisation and the concentration
of the legislative power in the national Govern-
ment. The tendency of the bill is to resuscitate the
spirit of rebellion and arrest the progress of those
influences which are drawing more closely round
the States the bonds of union and peace. I fully
recognise the obligaion to defend and protect the
negroes, wherever rind whenever necessary, to the
full extent of the constitution, and will co-operate
with Congress in my measures necessary for the
preservation of the civil rights of freedmen as well
as of all persons it the United States, by judicial
process and under equal and impartial laws, con-
formably with the constitution.
It is believed in Washington that the Senate will
pass the Ciyi], Rights Bill over the President's veto,

during the week—that is I tog below the price of 5-20's

RAILWAY AND MISCELLANEOUS SECURITIES.— T e
abundance of money has promoted speculation, though not.
to an immense extent. Tho favourable freight returns
have generally increased quotations 2 or 3 per cent. above
those of a week ago. Colorado Gold Stocks continued to
gain confidence, owing to tho success of the new separating
processes.

THE GOLD MARKET.—The quotations for gold have been
steadily downward. This is owing partly to the contrac-
tion policy of the Finance Bill, and partly the new rate of
exchange, and large orders for cotton received by the Aus-
tralasian. The following are the quotations for the
week :

MEXICO.

NEW YORK, March 29 (Evening).
Advices from Matazas, dated 19th inst., state
that General Douay had defeated the Liberals at
Paras, Northern Mexico. The Liberals being after-
wards reinforced, attacked the French under Baron
du Briar, who was killed. General Douay was sub-
quently besieged in the church at Paras, which he
held, with 50 men, until he was reinforced.
