HOMELESS WOMEN AND CHILDREN,

Sixty Thousand Nights' Lodgings, with Suppers and
Breakfasts, have been given in this Institution to the
destitute, who otherwise would have had to pass th©
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 aro 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 lee required.
Besides providing shelter for the homeless, this year it
is propysed, 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.Y. GILBERT, D.D., No 22,

very early in the present century by many colonists of dis-
tinction, and Lord Durham had subsequently, in a most
able report, recommended the legislative union of the two
Canadas, the further union of the maritime provinces be-
ing likewise contemplated. In 1858 there were delegates
from these colonies to concert with the Government in
England the means of consolidating the colonies. It hap-
pened, siugularly enough, that from his (Lord Carnarvon's)

ques-

iteioavel
had
)
n
now been revived, and was once more brought before the
people of this country in a practical form. He regretted
they did not see present that evening delegates from all
the British North American provinces. The Canadian de-
legates wore absenLewing to a combination of very pecu-
liar and very anxious circumstances which detained them
in their own country. He should say he believed their de-
tontion was as unintentional as it was unavoidable. (Hear,
hear,) He would, if permitted to do so, bear testimony to
the placid, the reasonable, and cheerful temper in which
the delegates from the maritime provinces had submitted
to the great inconveniences they must have sustained both
in public and in private through the absence of their Cana-
dian colleagues. (Hear.) However, from the absence
of that one-third, or he might say one-half, of the dele-
gates, it had been impossible to consider this ques-
tion at present ; and it had not yet come
under official consideration of her Majesty's Government.
When it did, no doubt there would be many questions to
consider, many interests to be weighed, and sore differ-
ences of pinion to reconcile. Meanwhile, it would be pre-
mature for him, and he should be departing from his public
duty if he were to express an opinion as to the merits of
this great question. But, although his lips were sealed
upon this point, he was free to say thus much—he was free
in the name of all in this country who had any care or
concern for these great colonial subjects to express the
cordial welcome they gave to those representatives of the
British North American provinces who were present that
evening, and he was free also on the part of the Govern-
ment to promise an earnest and respectful attention to
everything those gentlemen might urge when they came
together in council on behalf of those provinces, those Go-
vernments, and those Parliaments of which they were the
accredited representatives. (Hear, hear, and cheers). He
could promise that the delegates should find no lukewarm-
ness or indifference to their wishes on the part of the Go-
vernment, no want of confidence .in their national aspira-
tions; and he thought that whatever might be the issue of
their councils, they would at least present a picture which
would not be unworthy of this country, and which, so far
as' he knew, would be unparalleled in the history of the
world—the picture of a mother country discussing frankly,
freely,-and fairly with her colonists certain great constitu-
tional changes which' were desired and proposed to them,
without one parade of jealousy or mistrust on the part of
the mother country, and with the most earnest loyalty and
affection'towards that mother country on the part of the
colonies—changes which no doubt in the course of time ,
might vary the relations of this country with some of her
,distantoolonies—but changes which depended very much
on the spirit in which they were' conceived and the spirit
in Which they were met. (Cheeis.) When changes were
met on both sides in such a temper as this he had no
fear, and he thought that no reasonable person need fear,
for the result. Once in the history of Eugland it hap-
pened that she parted with one of her great colonies
in anger and mistrust, and the evil effects of that separation
had lasted for many a long year, embittering the relations
which existed between those who ought always to have
been firm friends and allies. (Hear, hear.) He trusted that
in the course of years that feeling had, though gradually,
been dispelled, and that the two nations were now under
the influence of a better state of mind; but at the same time
he though that what had happened ought to serve as a
useful lesson, which we in this country ought not to be
ashamed to own, namely, that conciliation was better than
coercion, and that if we gave our confidence to a depen-
dency that confidence would be repaid a hundred-fold.
(Hear, hear.) Ho trusted that the past had taught both this
country and the colonies that the interests of England and
the interests of the colonies, properly understood, were not
separate and distinct interests ; but that, the more power-
ful, the more prosperous, and the more populous the Eng-
lish colonies became, the greater would he the strength
they would confer on the mother country. (Loud cheers.)

The CIIAIRMAN read letters from the Duke of Bucking-
ham, Lord Shaftesbury, Lord Cranbourne, Lord Ebury,
Lord Lytton, Mr. A dderley, and Mr. Cardwell—all of whom
regretted their inability to attend on the present occasion.
lie then proposed `.'The health of the Delegates from New
Brunswick and Nova Scotia," coupling with the toast the
names of Dr. Tupper, Mr. Tilley, Mr. Archbold, and Mr.
Chandler. (Cheers.)
Dr. TUPPER, Who rose amid loud cheers, as one of the
representatives of Nova Scotia, said the mission upon which
he and the other members of the delegation bad come was
one that was fraught with vital consequences to the British
North American provinces, and was well worthy the sup-
port of the English Government. He described the vast
extent of interior territory and seaboard belonging to
British North America, the immense internal resources of
the different provinces, and the increase that has taken place
in their population and commerce, and complained that the
trade of the provinces and the due development of their re-
sources was restricted by the tariffs which existed between
them. He stated that the people of those colonies had at
length come to the conclusion that the time had arrived
for sweeping away the fortifications of tariffs and customs
duties that existed between them, and for consolidating
them under one Government and one Legislature. (Hear.)
It was thought that the time had come when the colonies
should unite and consolidate their power. The question
had been carefully considered and discussed, and it had been
decided by a large majority that an effort should be made
for obtaining so desirable a result. This was the more ne-
cessary, when the colonies were in the presence of a com-
mon danger, which was not so much that of a Fenian inva-
sion as that which arose from a feeling in the minds of the
American people that they ought to take possession of the
British North American provinces. This danger was
heightened by the subjugation of the South, and the set-
tlement of the slave question, for while slavery existed in
America, and the two parties in the United States were
divided upon it, there was little cause for apprehension. It
was the feeling he had referred tothat had swept away the
reciprocity treaty, which had proved so advantageous to
both countries, and he believed that the consolidation of
the strength and power of the British North American
provinces would do much to neutralise the feeling, and
might lead the American people to ask for a renewal of the
reciprocity treaty.
.Mr. Tilley, Mr. Archbold, and Mr. Chandler 'also re-

'..Che'PnAißmAn next gave the..' health of the Governor-
-General of. Canada, and the Lieutenants-General of her

Governor Iliscxs briefly responded.
The health of Sir F. Rogers and Mr. Blackwood was
proposed by Mr. Watkin, M.P., and thehealth of the chair-
man was given by Mr. Baring, M.P. The Chairman re-
sponded, and the health of the vice-chairman having been
proposed and acknowledged the proceedings terminated.

Ironmasters' Quarterly Meeting.

WOLVERHAMPTON, THURSDAY EVENING.

The second meeting of the ironmasters of this dis-
trict for the current quarter was held in the Town-•I
hall here this afternoon. There was a very large at-
tendance. All the other iron-producing districts
were well represented, as were also many of the
Liverpool and other exporting firms. There was a
very animated discussion relative to the position and
prospects of the trade. Between 2 and 3 o'clock
the appearance of the hall was such as would have
impressed a stranger with the idea that a very con-
siderable amount of business was being done, really,
however, such was not the case, for buyers of every
class hung back as much as possible, and there can
be no doubt that the quantity of iron sold was very
considerably below that which it ordinarily is on the
quarter-day, and less than might reasonably have
been expected, looking at the long period of stagna-
tion from which the trade has suffered. It was stated
that there is a good prospect of a good demand for
America, but at this moment the houses who do to
that quarter are indifferently supplied with orders ;
there is a very limited demand for railway iron, and
with regard to plates the trade is in even a worse
state, though in consideration of the slackness which
' now prevails in connection with shipbuilding opera-
tions the iron trade of the North will suffer more on
that account than it will in South Staffordshire.
There was a moderate amount of doing to-day in
pig-iron, the make of the district ; hot blast was
quoted £3 15s. per ton, that being about a middle
price. As a rule the pig-masters cannot afford to
hold pigs now that assistance from the banks can be
no longer obtained, so that if the demand should fall
much below what it now is more furnaces will have
to be blown out. it was rumoured in the hall that
the price of Forest of Dean pigs had been lowered
half-a-crown a ton, but subsequently that was con-
tradicted on good authority..
The demand for Shropshire
.pig was steady ; it
