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 ON
destitute, who otherwise would have had to pass the
nights in the bleak streets or under railway arches.
At present neatly 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, chilaren, 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 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 Roy. D. GILBERT D.D.,

TEE CHOLERA,

THE CITY AUTHORITIES.

Yesterday at 12 o'clock, the members formin
the committee appointed by the City Commissioners
of Sewers to take such measures as might be deemed
necessary under the Nuisances Removal and Dis-
eases Prevention Acts, in order to prevent the
spread of cholera in the City, held another meeting
at the Guildhall under the presidency of the chair-
man, Mr. De Jersey.
Mr. H. BLAKE, the clerk to the committee, stated
that in accordance with the resolution come to the
day previously, he had written to the chairmen of
the boards of guardians of the City unions inform-
ing them that the committee would be glad to co-
operate with their in any measures which from time
to time might be found desirable for the prevention
of nuisances and diseases, and he had also re-
quested their attendance before the committee to
confer upon the subject of supplying chloride of
lime to the poor gratis, and upon other matters.
Mr. GEORGE CUTHBERT, chairman of the East
London Union, attended in pursuance of the above
invitation, and stated that the special committee of
that union would meet the next day to appoint four
assistant medical officers to assist Dr. Simpson, the
chief medical officer of the board. He also said that
accommodation had been provided for the casual
poor at the workhouse at Homerton, and that the
houseless poor wards in New-street, Bishopsgate,
would be fitted as a temporary hospital for the ex-
clusive accommodation of cholera patients. The
medical officers of the union had been invested with
power to use any disinfectants, stimulants, and
warm clothing, and in fact everything necessary
for persons who might unfortunately be afflicted
with the prevailing epidemic. He also said that
chloride of lime was provided, and might be had
gratuitously by any poor persons applying. (Hear.)
The clerk was directed to write to the guardians
of the City and West London Unions requesting to
know what steps had been taken by them, and after
dealing with various communications, one of which
referred to the death of two persons in a court in
Houndsditch, the committee adjourned.
