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 madb by the Poor Houses, each
night numbers of young women, children, and orphans
%ro, 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 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. •

Bristol.a sA
h the commission of assize at
IniCoor of
placeY on Thursday night at nine
o'clock by Mr. Stock, Q.O. The ceremony was to have
takon place at three o'clock, but in consequence of the im-
mense quantity of luggage attendant upon the circuit it was
found necessary at Wells to put some of the luggage into a
horso box ; the same course was adopted upon the change of
carriages at Highbridge ; the consequence was that owing
to the confusion at Bristol a large box containing the cir-
cuit papers and the commission was not taken out at
Bristol, but went on with the train. When, therefore, Mr.
Stock, accompanied by the mayor, sheriff, and other offi-
cials and trumpeters, reached the Guildhall, it was found
that there was no commissions present. The officers of
the circuit immediately set to work to discover the lost
parchments by telegraphing to Wales, Highbridge, and
Swindon, and after some time it was ascertained that the
valuable box had been seized at Swindon, and that it
would be returned to Bristol by the next train.

I ADVERTISEMENT.i—HoIIo way's Pills. These celebrated
pills are especially useful in preventing the ill effects of
luxurious living. They purify the blood, cleanse the sto-
mach, gently stimulate the kidneys, and act as mild ape-
rients. Without some such corrective as Holloway's pills
the festivity of one day often debars us from all enjoyment
for a week. A few doses of this purifying medicine set
the foulest stomach right, restrain biliousness, steady the
circulation, give strength to the muscles, and composure to
the brain and nerves. The pills are incapable of doing
mischief to the mast delicate constitution. When the sys-
tem has been enervated by over indulgence, or exhausted
by mercurial preparations, these pills aro excellent restora-
tives, they repel all poison and enrich the blood.

THE CHOLERA.

MANSION-HOUSE BELIEF COMMITTEE,

Yesterday upwards of £650 was received at the
Mansion-house, in public voluntary subscriptions,
towards the fund now being raised there for the re-

lief of the distress from cholera in the metropolis,
under the auspices of the Lord Mayor and a commit-

tee of eminent bankers, merchants, clergymen, and
persons of influence, and at the close of the day the
total sum which had been collected there, in little more
than a single week, amounted to nearly £lO,OOO.
Among the contributors yesterday were the Go-
vernor and Directors of the Bank of England, £100;
Messrs. Fruhling and Goschen, £lO5 ; and Messrs.
C. J. H. Hambro and Son, £lO5.

At one o'clock a meeting of the committee was
held, the Lord Mayor presiding, to consider appli-
cations for assistance from the fund by local com-
mittees in the infected districts, and to make grants
in aid. There were also present Sir Mordaunt
Wells, Mr. R.N. Fowler, the Rev. William Rogers,
the Rev. F. G. Blomfield, Mr. R. B. Wade, Mr.
Andrew Johnston, Mr. W. J. Maxwell, Mr. Rip-
ley, Mr. Gilliat, Mr. P. C. Glyn, Mr. Chas. Hutton,
Dr. Andrew Clark, physician of the London Hos-
pital, and Mr. Alderman Cotton. The LORD
MAYOR at the outset took occasion to complain that
Miss Sellon, without any previous application to
him or the committee, and without any authority
from them, had stated in a letter to the editor of
the Times that subscriptions would be received at the
Mansion-house to aid a temporary cholera hospital
she was concerned in establishing in Commercial-
street, Whitechapel. He was astonished to read the
announcement, inasmuch as no request had been
made to receive funds for that purpose. He also
took occasion to deprecate individual appeals to the
public benevolence, such as were being made by the
Rev. Mr. Ross, rector of .St. George's-in-the-East,
and other clergymen—most worthy and well-mean-
ing gentlemen he had no doubt—in the face of the
funds which were being intrusted by the public to
the Mansion-house Committee, the Bishop of Lon-
don, and the authorities of the London Hospital, for
the relief of the prevailing distress, and intrusted
under circumstances which implied supervision in the
public interest and all persons concerned. While the
Mansion-house Committee had the greatest possible
respect for individual clergymen, they had been
strongly of opinion from the first that the fund at
their disposal would be best administered by local
committees representing the inhabitants generally and
of which committees the clergy, of course, should
form part. The committee had a large fund at their
disposal, and if Mr. Ross, or any other clergyman,
forming part of a properly organised local commit-
tee, would apply, a grant for the relief of the dis-
tress consequent upon the cholera and proportionate
to the wants would be made. They had, indeed,
already made grants of money for that purpose to
St. George's in the East, with which Mr. Ross was
connected, and; therefore, there was the less neces-
sity for individual appeals to the public, ever gene-
rous as it was.

The committee unanimously endorsed the obser-
vations of the Lord Mayor, and hoped they would
be made public, calculated as they were to do a
great deal of good.
Mr. E. H. PALMER, a director of the Bank of
England, and a member of the committee engaged
in promoting the temporary cholera hospital in Com-
mercial-street, Whitechapel, tendered a courteous
apology to the Lord Mayor and the committee for
the unauthorised use which Miss Sellon had been
induced to make of their names.

A communication from Mr. Nixon, the house
governor and secretary of the London Hospital, in
reply to some Inquiries by the Lord Mayor as to the
past transactions, present condition, and capabilities
of the London llospital, with special reference to the
reception of cholera cases, was brought under the
consideration of the committee. The number of
beds, he said, actually allotted for cholera cases
was 139, and the space in the wards was such that
they could, if, necessary, increase the number at
short notice to 160. The number of patients on
Wednesday last at 4 p.m. was 111. The largest
number at any one time in the house had been 116.
To attend the cholera cases they have the partial ser-
vices of four physicians and two resident medical
officers, with the entire time of three extra medical
residents. They have also a special staff of nurses,
averaging 70 in number, besides three head nurses,
and five lady volunteers. They have also teu extra
men empleyed altogetherin theservice of the cholera
wards. The supervision of those wards monopolised
a great portion of the time of the matron and assis-
tant matron, and the supply of medicines by day
and night requires the energies of their three dis-
pensers. The washing required to keep pace with
the wants of the cholera wards might be gathered,
he said, from the fact, that in the seven days end-
ing with last Saturday night their laundry received
from the cholera beds alone 1,741 articles, of which
1,511 were sheets, blankets, counterpanes, and bed
ticks. 'The disposal of the dead was during the
severest period of the epidemic a matter of even
greater difficulty than the reception of the living ;
but that had also been for some dayspast thoroughly
under control.

A conversation arose as to the propriety or other-
wise of the committee countenancing the temporary
hospital about to be established by voluntary effort
in Whitechapel for cholera patients, and, indeed, as
to the necessity for such an institution or otherwise,
having regard to the present state of the epidemic.
In this Sir M. Wells took a conspicuous part, re-
marking that though there had been 4,000 deaths
from cholera in the eastern parts of London only
250 had died in the London Hospital, a circum-
stance which, he thought, indicated the action of
the London hospital in the emergenT He ob-
served upon the hospital having received upwards of
£20,000 in public donations during the present out-
break, and upon their receipts from that source hav-
ing been 90 per cent. in excess of their expenditure
for cholera patients. He bore testimony at the
same time to the admirable and noble manner in
which the hospital authorities had discharged their
duties during the epidemic ; but he argued that,
assuming it had been necessary in the common
interest, and with a view to stamping out the dis-
ease, to remove from their homes to the hospital
the whole 4,000 patients who eventually died of
cholera, the establishment would clearly have been
unable to cope with the influx. A great object at
such a time was to remove the sick from among
the healthy, and if that was done in a proper way
the London Hospital was clearly unequal to it
from want of space. Even Dr. Clark, physician to
the London Hospital, would not take upon himself
the responsibility of saying that such an hospital as
that about to be extemporised in Commercial-street
might not be wanted. The Rev. Mr. Rogers, rector
of Bishopsgate, who took part in the conversation,
observed, on the other hand, that the cholera was
certainly diminishing. Besides, he said there was a
temporary cholera hospital in Wapping, admirably
managed, as he knew from his own personal obser-
vation, and it was nothing like full. The local autho-
rities were bound to provide such places at such a
crisis, though they might not exactly be Elysiums.
Mr. JOHNSTON, a member of the London Hospital
House Committee, explained that the collection now
being made there had been avowedly made, not only
to defray the expenses consequent on cholera, but in
consideration of the loss the hospital had sustained
by the authorities there having, in consequence of
the visitation, to forego the great anniversary meet-
ing on the opening of the new wing. The new wing
had been of the greatest use at this juncture, and
nothing had yet occurred to show that the hospital
was incapable of meeting the emergency.
The conversation was continued by Mr. Fowler
and Dr. Andrew Clark, both of whom spoke in the
interest of the London Hospital, and eventually the
committee made a grant towards supplementing
funds already subscribed by private individuals fo
